Doctor, can anything else be done?

Alas, the boy has stopped breathing, the bleeding has been unsuccessful.

Cardinal Basset, Please perform last rights, I will inform the King and Queen.

In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti. Amen...

Doctor please, how is Thomas?

Your Majesty...I-I-I'm sorry, he's gone

No, no, no ,no , no, no, no

It's alright darling, just breathe, breathe

He can't be gone [sniffles] my little boy!

This is your fault! I told you, I told you the children should go and stay with William and Arielle at Chenonceau away from this plague! But you insisted we stay close to the city to 'project an image of strength'! Is your power so important you hold it above your family?-

Above your children!? How could you?

Margaret, get a hold of yourself! Do you really think I would knowingly put my son at risk!? One of my heirs?-

[Sighs] Now, take a deep breath and calm down. It's all going to be okay

[Whispers] I'm sorry, I'm sorry [crying quietly]

Prince Thomas Sick With The Sweat

The Royal Family At Home

The Royal Family has released a series of personal paintings of the family enjoying time together around the newly rebuilt palace. The public gets a rare chance to see a casual side to the King and Queen and their children. 

The family has been spending a lot of time in the palace, instead of on royal outings since rumors the sweating sickness has been spreading closer to Windenberg. The King is known to have a fear of the sickness as he lost his father and brother to the mysterious sickness in his youth. It is said the King has many doctors and herbal remedies around the palace to stave off the sickness.

Windenburg Palace Construction Almost Finished!

Crown Prince Willam Spotted With French Princesses!

HRH Crown Prince William of Windenburg was spotted visiting Luisante National Park today and appeared to be spending time with with his potential future brides HRH Princess Arielle Navarre and her sister HRH Princess Isabelle Navarre. Can you spot which couple sparks flew with?

Royal’s Visit To Luisante National Park

The royal visit to France continues with the royals visiting Luisante National Park. During their stay in France the Royal family is staying at the guests apartments in Versailles. King Louis has just finished extensive renovations to the palace and it’s rumoured the guest apartments are awash with gold, from the gold flecked walls to the solid gold beds and decor. The French royal families own apartments are substantially less grand, the King clearly wants to display his Kingdoms vast wealth to guests.

Perhaps this is part of the reason King Avery is happy for his son to marry into the family.

The day at the park was spent with the Kings discussing the proposed ‘Treaty Of the Deux’ which will be signed upon Crown Prince Williams marriage to one of King Louis daughters. So far not much is known about the treaty though there will likely be an aspect that will untie the two countries military forces. Should any country seek to attack either France or England they will have the mighty forces of both countries to contend with.

Queen Margaret and Queen Josephine were seen deep in discussion on a stroll in the beautiful park while the sun was setting. Though we don't know what the Queens were discussing exactly, Queen Margaret is widely known in England as one of the largest patrons of artwork in the country so it can be assumed she was curious about Frances own efforts in the preserving of artwork.
